Captação de àgua de aparelhos de ar - condicionado: avaliação da tecnologia social implantada em escola pública de São Gonçalo do Gurguéia - PI

Abstract

This study addresses the sustainable management of water resources, focusing on the reuse of air-conditioning condensation water in public schools. The aim was to assess the efficiency and feasibility of this social technology, promoting water conservation and environmental awareness. The methodology involved installing a condensation water collection system at the São Gonçalo Municipal School in Piauí. The system's performance was monitored and the quality of the water collected was analyzed. The results showed that the system is capable of collecting approximately 3,000 liters of water per month, generating savings in treated water and financial resources. The water collected was used for non-potable activities, such as cleaning and irrigation. Analysis of the water quality indicated that it is suitable for irrigation, although the pH needs to be monitored. It is concluded that the technology is viable and can be replicated in other regions with water scarcity, promoting sustainability and the environment
